TIL. Baltimore g. Ohio Option

NEW YORK, June 29.-The Evening Sun says:
"Wall street took on little squirt of excite
ment just at the close of business ticker
report that Jay Gould had acquired the Balti-
more & Ohio telegraph lines by purchase from
Robert Garrett. Ever since Alfred Sully made
his ridiculous failure to purchase the Baltimore
& Ohio on the option given him by Garrett
that option has been held by Henry S. Ives,
the broker. Ivess option covers the
railroad, telegraph and all other al
lied properties, and was renewed last
Saturday until the middle of July. While that
option holds good nobody but Ives can buy or
sell Baltimore & Ohio. railroad telegraph.
Ives is after a railroad. and don't want any tele-
graph. He has got an idea that Jay Gould does
want another telegraph, and that he can be
induced to take the B. & o. telegraph, thus max
ing It easier to pay for the railroad. Negotia-
tions to that effect were in progress yesterday,
and not unlikely may succeed. That is. if Ives
can manage to buy the telegraph and railroad
at CARROTS terms Gould will take the telegraph
off his hands at his own (Gould's) terms.

OUR SOUTHERN KANSAS ALLY.

Kansas City Journal
Wichita is widely and favorably known,
but, as in the case of all thriving western
cities, the impression is beginning to pre-
vail that its greet progress is being sustain
ed by real estate boom. This is literally
untrue. We have been on the ground and
know the precise situation. The boom IN
property is simply the result OF exceptional
business development. The banks are
full of money that has been deposited by
men who intend to use it in various avenues
of trade, but are compelled to wait for
suitable buildings to be erected. The
hotels are crowded by people who are
waiting for houses to be built for
their families The fact is there
is no boom at Wichita. A
boom implies something fictitious, unsub-
stantial. fallacious, empty. None Of these
apply to Wichita's activity. Certain nat
ural causes and acquired advantages are
propelling its growth and the expansion OF
its business. Wichita is going to be
large and important producing and dis
tributing point, and we propose in an early
issue to show the exact reasons for its DIS
tinction through the opinions Of its most
prudent, conservative, energetic and pros
porous business men. We will present the
subject in a symposium, the subdivisions
of which will be handled as follows:
The financial outlook-Col NJ. Stewart,
secretary Citizens National Bank of Com
merce. and w. G. Woodman, president
First Arkansas Valley Bank.
Real estate values-Mr. n f. Neider-
lander.
The jobbing interests-Mr. W. S. Cor
'bett
Building and building material-Mr.
George L. Pratt, of the Chicago Lumber
Company.
Agri culture implements of the contigu-
GUS territory-Mr. J. A. Wallace.
Manufactures-Mr. w. J. Corner, of
Royal Spice Mills.
These articles when presented should be
considered. They will be
written practically and from a thorough
knowledge of the subject. They will be
authoritative, and those in all parts
of the country who act upon their sugges-
tions and recommendations may BE- rea-
sonablv assured of success in whatever
they undertake at Wichita.

ANCIENT ORDER OF UNITED WORK
MEN

To the Editor Of the Eagle
This order was organized in Meadville.
Pa. on the eth day Of October, 1868. The
aims and objects for which it was ergan-
izsd may be briefly stated as follows:
To unite all white male persons who are
over twenty one and under fifty years ef
age, regardless of nationalities, political
preferences or religious belief, into a fra.
ternal brotherhood To give equal atten.
ton to each Of its members, to improve
their mental, moral snd social condition.
and TO inspire love fer home family and
dependant friend. and provide means for
their support when the battles Of life are
over, by creating funds for the purpose Of
aiding lis members during sickness or
other disability In shert, TO care for the
living membership and bury its dead 1t
pledges its membership to the payment of
two thousand dollars 10 the party named
in the beneficiary certificate (or policy of
instrance). This amount must go to some
blood relation and the member, while liv-
ing, must maintain his good standing in
the order The laborer. merchant, banker,
lswyer-in fact, all who labor with the

WICHITA THROUGH. AND THROUGH.

That was a typical Wichita gathering at
the NJ. T. church Sunday night. The
men and women composing that audience
of five or six hundred, gathered there in
the interest of the young men of this city,
were representative women and men OF
Wichita. There were few new people
present and but few of the men OF the
greatest wealth in the city. But 1t was
Wichita all over, Wichita enthusiasm,
Wichita inspiration, Wichita pluck and
business. In what other congregation IN
Kansas, anywhere, made up OF the different
denominations, who in one single evening
would add to their subscriptions, to pure
w benevolent and moral cause, the magnl-
ficent sum of seventeen thousand dol
lars cash. or in other words-for
il was the same crowd-wind up the
work of three days with a building fund of
thirty-three thousand dollars cash. Yet
that was done, making now available, for
the fine monumental temple which is to be

thousand dollars cash. There are towns
in this state that have been claiming all
along to be as enterprising, as solid and as
prosperous as Wichita. To such the
EAGLE says prove your claim by duplicat
ing the subscription Of forty-seven thous
and dollars for the building of an undo
nominational temple for your Young
Mems Christian Association. Where is
there another town in this state in which
at Sunday evenings service four men
could be found who would put up ten
thousand dollars for anything? This was
done in this city and in the absence OF any
undue excitement. There is but one

HOLSTERS OPINION.
Editor of the Daily Eagle.

To the Editor of the Daily Eagle
WICHITA, Feb. 10, 1887. The St. Jo-
seph Herald has a correspondent at Topeka
whose occasional attempts at smartness are
very tiresome to the reader and must be
source of some disappointment to his (the
correspondent's) friends, who have no
doubt pictured out for the young man
bright career in his chosen profession OF
journalism.
Since throwing mud at Wichita has
grown to be popular in Topeka and all
over the northeastern portion Of the state,
the Herald correspondent often goes good
deal out of his way to say something that
he thinks will strike the popular cord. In
a recent letter to his paper he copies the
following from the Rockport, Ind, Demo
craft
The Rockport Democrat has this to say
about the folly of going to wild cat western
town like Wichita, a bleak mushroom town
out on the Kansas prairies, with no special
advantages over hundreds of other places
of less pretensions: "A great many around
us have the Wichita, Kan, fever. If they
would take into consideration the high
rents, say $35 per month for a house with
three rooms. and the high price for fuel
they would see there is not SO much induce
ment for laboring men with families after
all Those who are making money there
are the spectators in real estate-not the
laborer. For the laborer every thing and
in every place generally, ends about the
same way-a living and sometimes a very
scanty one at that.
Now, for the information of the nine
tenths Of all the newspaper readers of Kan
sas who never heard of Rockport, Ind, l
wish to state that it is little, old, fossilized
town on the Ohio river with population
of, possibly $500, and its number of in
habitants has not been increased by 1000
in the past fifteen years. This is a fact
that is well known to all of us who have
come from southern Indiana, and particu-
larry those of us who are from the same
locality that had the honor to produce the
smart correspondent of the st. Joseph
Herald. Having always supposed him to
be young man of ordinary shrewdness.
| am surprised to see that he
is willing to expose himself
to the ridicule Of well informed
people by quoting such stuff. from such a
source The traducers of our city must,
JUDGED, be in bad way when they are
obliged to quote from such authority as the
above in order to show that Wichita is not
a good place to come to. 1t is an easy
matter for all who wish TO know to find
out that there are scores and hundreds of
men in Wichita who are now in good cir
cumstances, many OF the wealthy, who
came here with nothing, and who, had
they remained in such places as Rockport,
Ind would have been worth nothing all
their lives HoosIER.
